The ride from pre - prelims (67%) to prelims (76%) to boards - 95.33%...its been nothing short of a roller coaster ride..my boy really slogged it out in the 2 months after the much need jolt of his dismal pre - prelims performance...n so did I! !!!!!!

All's well that ends well!!...n btw, no private tuitions or coaching classes at all!!!!...it was a gamble that I took as I thought my child did not have the temperament to sit thru cumbersome coaching classes...which eat up hours of a student's time...i seriously wondered whether that was a wrong decision after the pre prelims fiasco. ..he was the only child in his class who did not have private coaching!!!!...but then he n i decided to work on it together...n lo!!!!

After all, "God truly helps those who help themselves"

@bold: very true.

No coaching class is as good as mom's coaching. There the child is one among 10 or 50. But when it is the mother who is teaching, the child gets 100% focus. So the first congratulations is to you.

He will be opting for Commerce in Class 11 & 12, n will be appearing for a few entrances after his 12th, including appearing for Indian National Mathematics Olympiad (INMO) during his 12th...clearing which would give him direct entry to the institute of our choice. ...Chennai Mathematical Institute (CMI)...else an entrance exam after 12th...

He aspires to become a Data Scientist ...atleast this maasa desires this career for her putrasa as Mathematics & Computer Science are clearly the putrasa's interests & strengths, BOTH...

No need to ask excuse.

You have EARNED the right to feel for months on from now. (till his 12th boards.)

Out here in Chennai, Economics is a part of Social Science and Science is compulsory till 10th. That is why I was surprised not to find Science in the list and asked if it was 10th or 12th results. I know that you hail from begumsa's state. But where do you reside...My sahelisa's putrasa would find a place that allows dropping Science in 10th as heaven., though I have always been at such allergy to Science which has always been my fav subject.
